Crazy that the Lightning are a single year away from adding another 13 wins to that board from their 2015 SC run
That’s crazy
The urinatingtree reference on the predators lmao
May he forever be too good right now.
Penguins being #3 in wins in the playoffs in the last 8 years has such a nostalgia feel rn. it's sad to see them fizzle out again
As a penguins fan 2017 feels like yesterday but also a decade ago. Crazy.
It hurt's seeing Detroit so far down that list. I remember in 2015, it was the first year they were really in danger of breaking their playoff steak; they only got in on a tie-breaker. There were a lot of fans around the league panicking that they'd miss the playoffs, win the draft lottery, and with McDavid put up another 20 year streak. Very different timeline we got.
As a Sabres fan, I'd be laughing at this if I wasn't already crying over it... The only team over this timeline to have ZERO playoff games. I hope Pegula is happy...
That’s one stubborn individual in ownership there. How can you not want to strive for success?
Need to find someone like Bill Foley who’s in their 50’s, has no desire to run anything else but the Sabres, and have them buy the Pegula’s out.
They’re not even in the Monfort’s league (Rockies’ owners) considering the Rox have been to the Playoffs a few times, even a World Series, despite difficult (and indifferent) recent years and in-between sparse postseason play. 🫤
@@mercywilliams2698 I am old enough to remember 2011 and how his goal is to win. He cried at the sight of the French Connection and the Sabres went on a run to make the playoffs after an amazing win the night he took over. They have changed GM's and everyone behind the bench multiple times. He has went to the cap multiple times or close to it. He brought in Hall to make Jack happy and they had an 80 mil team lose 18 in a row. That's not his fault that they never produced. He needs to be hands off and keep his wallet open. Just like with the goofy NFL team he owns that I care nothing about, but other people forget what he has done for Buffalo. Downtown is totally different than in 2010 before he came to town. If it was not for him No Sabres or Bills in Buffalo right now. Sabres in KC, Bills in Toronto or LA/Vegas
@@GizmoBeach The Leafs and Oilers had close droughts. It shouldn't happen, but it does. The Bills went 18 years without the post season
My youngest son graduated from SUNY Geneseo in 2018. Every time I went out there I was, as a Rangers fan who remembers (with love) the GAG line and (with respect) the French Connection Line, I was actually saddened to see nothing but Rangers jerseys and hats. I was amused, but not surprised, that every girl in a Rangers jersey was wearing Lundqvist's # 30.
Sweet Jesus, Vegas is one helluva impressive franchise. They’re going to have to pay the piper at some point but they deserve all the kudos
The Dallas Stars in the last five postseasons:
2019 - Second Round Loss
2020 - Stanley Cup Final Loss
2021 - Missed the Postseason
2022 - First Round Loss
2023 - Third Round Loss
They have experienced everything except the only one (the last one left to do) that matters the most which is hoisting the Cup. Hopefully, this postseason... they get to do that. We'll see.
Kinda sounds like how it went with Tampa Bay before 2020. Look how that turned out
I hope not. I hope it's either winnipeg or florida. I wouldn't mind tampa winning as well
The LA Kings’ recent record is surprising considering it feels like it wasn’t long ago they won two Cups (in convincing fashion) after a long period of Playoff irrelevance (or absence) from 1993 to 2010.
Yeah the Kings were great immediately before this period but sadly haven’t won a series since their last Cup
This guys the best
"I'm not going to say a lot about Buffalo."
I do get a warm fuzzy feeling when I think about 2018. It was a good time :)
26:13 The Sabres will have a packed house on a regular basis once they officially clinched a place spot (if that ever happens).
We’ve been through the hot starts to start the season in the past, been at the top of the league standings past US Thanksgiving, and still find ways to blow it. I’m pretty sure San Jose, Montreal, and Ottawa will make playoffs before the Sabres anyways.
Beautiful jersey and hat! 😍😍
Great content
Very Interesting breakdown!
great look brother
Minnesota had competitive team close to a decade that sunk it's best years with Dubnyk, who ended up with 30% playoff wr.
There's 32 teams in the league, 7 of them are Canadian teams and I could help but notice that the first Canadian team doesn't show up on the board until #14, how sad is that? lol
Nice jersey
I think being half the road on p% but having a lot of 1st overall and no playoffs perfectly sums up the Sabres. A loop of almost being good enough only to rebuild
Now do which teams can win while being cap compliant in the playoffs
Pretty easy since the cap compliance for the playoffs are unrestricted.
Chicago was over the cap in 2015 when they beat Tampa in the finals, then St. Louis and Tampa were the only teams to vote in favor of closing the loop hole.
Hey Shannon this is just me but shouldn’t the storm jersey you own have a NHL logo on it? Kinda looks like a kit without it
So happy we are getting some underdog teams that will put up a fight this year.
In the east, the flyers and wings will be so much more interesting to watch instead of the islanders/devils again and no pens/caps that will just lay an egg anyway. In the west we have the preds setting a franchise record out of nowhere to clinch a spot and the Blues only 4pts from knocking vegas out.
Being over the cap was an issue with Tampa, but the bigger issue is the tax laws. Look at all the teams surging up in power in recent years. Tampa, Vegas, Florida, and now the Preds...all in states with major major major tax cuts. The Blues championship team lost their captain because he wanted to run off to Vegas and save all that money on taxes.
I like thumbnails.
So for me its not so much is the metro division a better matchuo but at least its a different matchup.
Praying day and night for a Panthers cup!
Vancouver knocked off one stanly cup champ in st louis they csn do it again
Just as a reminder, what happened to the Oilers in 2021 was a sweep by the Jets.
I will push back on one thing in the video I had the blues winning the cup and I didn't feel like it was a huge hot take given that they were playing the best hockey coming into those playoffs
The first Canadien team on the board is 14th and the last Canadian team to win the Cup was Montreal, a long tine ago. There is nothing being done to address this imbalance. Maybe Vancouver this year?
Nothing being done? Four teams were given a shot at it during the covid bubble. Aside from that, there is no way the league will "Do something" to aid a Canadian team to win the cup.
They need to build teams better. Plain and simple.
I put $30 on STL winning just before the playoffs started, when they won. Won $330
Put $50 on FLA this year for a $400 win.
Could you place $70 on the lightning perchance?
What about the Ottawa Senato......oh right.... nevermind.
What's the point in saying that? They've been in more cup finals than the Leafs have in the expansion era.
@@neeltheother2342 It was just a light hearted joke from a disappointed Sens fan, its not that deep....
@@Amm17aris it really a joke if it's not funny?
@@neeltheother2342 I chuckled. Maybe your sense of humour is the issue or your lack of one.
@@danielpatterson5189A third of the teams were worse than them so they're not even the butt of playoff jokes, even in Canada lol.
Chuckling at that is a low-ass bar
Philadelphia is one of the most slept on teams in the league. They're a tough, gritty disciplined hockey club who can hang with anyone and potentially wear you down over a 7 game series. If they get in I see them as a strong Darkhorse in the East.
They're fun to watch this year. I just wish they'd score more. They miss the net a ton. Hoping they get a few Dmen back soon too.
Since 2015-2016 no team has won more Stanley Cups than 2
I think the Canucks want Nashville in the first round. They’ve had a real tough time with LA this season. They just can’t seem to get anything going against them. 5 goals in 3 games vs LA is far below there average GF per game.
It's not like Vancouver needs to start a full rebuild if they lose in the first round lmao. Presenting Vegas as the underdog in a series against Vancouver is just being ridiculous.
Centrel is brutal
In the past decade both Vegas and Seattle have come into existence and have a better playoff record than Buffalo in that period. That's some genuinely terrible mismanagement for the poor Sabres who prior to that were regularly punching above there weight. 🤔
This current edition of the Sabre's coaching staff, may have reached its shelf life. All we ever hear in Buffalo is, what talent the team has, and how they're stocked to the rafters in the pipeline. Dicking around with coaching Nobody's, isn't working.
5 straight Game 7 loses only to finally do it and choke against the 2017 Preds. We should've had 2 cups in the 2010's an instead we got nothing, sucks, but that's hockey.
It would be fun to see the Caps win another cup before Ovi retire, but I really don't think it will happen!
Oh!
The Vancouver Canucks are the easy path
Can I haz playoffs?
that meme was last popular last time Buffalo made playoffs
No you can’t
@@ScarecrOmega I am busy watching Always Sunny and checking Vine
You came on the scene just as the Wings started into the toilet :-)
As long as Pegula owns the Sabres, they will never make the playoffs
ABB
Buffalo fans left the video 15sec in 😂😂😂😂
Hey at least the Sabres are undefeated in the playoffs in this video!
Minnesota Wild fans telling themselves you're lying
Capitals? Playoffs? Thrive? No sir.
Sabres fans crying right now. Only team to have 0 playoff games in a decade.
Don’t the Avs have a perfect record in the cup finals as in every time they go they win with 3 trips all ending in a cup win. As for the Oilers they have struggled in the playoffs but each year the team gets better and better off you look at our team now compared to the bubble qualifying round so much better and McDavid and Draisaitl have both been getting better each year.
We do.
The Avalanche are: 3-0 in the Stanley Cup finals. Hopefully we can improve to 4-0 this year.
@@micahharman1493👆👏
I really don't think the Oilers are catching the Canucks. Canucks have responded all season when they've been challenged. Joshua will be back soon and he'll give them a big boost and if they keep playing the way they have defensively the last few games they should be able to greatly limit goals even though DeSmith is a a step down from Demko. He's played well and has proven to be decent in a primary starting role as recently as last year. They are showing absolutely no signs of an impending collapse. Demko's great but the Canucks are fully capable of stringing together a winning stretch without him.
How many cups has Vancouver won again? 😂
1... in 7 finals 😅
Toronto has never won 3 rounds in the playoffs, so their fans need to adjust their expectations. Start by getting to the conference final, not by planning the parade.
If you mean recently, yes, but the Leafs have won several cups with the last one, sadly, in 1967. Read a book!!
@@Kenpoman999the Leafs have never won 3 rounds. Every time they have won a Stanley Cup, it has been after 2 rounds.
Fair enough.
@@Kenpoman999 It's also the last time they went to the Stanley Cup Final and that's when the league only had six teams. The NHL ain't going back to only six teams again.
@@Mark-xl1ze Ya, ya, I get it.
Edmonton is taking it this year.
Buffalo needs to fire Don Granato, his players love him b.c hes soft and so are they and our franchise is suffering b.c of this weak soft culture.
Washington only won a Cup because Trotz got Ovie to play for the team, stop the hot dogging. Trotz leaves and they haven't done a thing.
More than 4 decades of mostly embarrassing performance, then win a title riding a generational talent...only to crash and burn in the playoffs since, if they even make it. They're the NHL's New Orleans Saints. I say that as a lifelong Saints fan. 🤣
As a BlackHawks fan, I am hoping for whoever in the playoffs that has not won a Cup at all, so hasn't won in the past I would say 4-7 years wins. Because when the Hawks are contenders while the next few years are building. We have a pretty good chance of getting Celebrini if not the top 3 overall pick and history likes to repeat itself. Seems like the Hawks will have the next Kane/Toews duo. That is when we start to win. I don't want to hear anyone say I'm rooting for my team because we never won or haven't won in ages. This is your chance because the Hawks get good again so enjoy it.
How to fix it. get a new Gm. Fitzy has proven to be clueless this year. Allen trade was too late and it makes him look stupid for waiting so long. Fitzy as president sure, Fitzy as GM NOPE! But NJ mangement doesnt know what there doing, cuz they are now gonna force on the Commanders. Fitzys ego got in the way this year, and i have alot to say about him.
It's an odd time period to pick. Most of these teams have turned over their core since 2015-2016. It would be odd to try and predict 2024 playoff performance based on a team's performance in 2016.
"in order for being over the cap to be something that people get mad about, you have to have a really good team"
I disagree with Shannon here, for the first time. It's legal now, but it's shady. It's dishonest and unsporting. I will always remember Stone for his "unfortunate" injuries a week before the deadline and not his talent. He's a gimmick.
The point is that if teams really did exploit this rule as blatantly as people are making it seem, the team needs to make the playoffs without a key player making a lot of money. So in a sense, it's a risk
Flyers aren't going nowhere in the playoffs. They would of been underdogs if they still had carter hart. That boat has sailed. Felix isn't no sam and sam is no carter which equal no playoff 4 flyers boo!!!!
Nobody in Detroit wants to make the playoffs just to get bounced in the 1st round. Rather just miss the playoffs. I can see the Red Wings firing their coach, especially if they end up missing the playoffs
I don’t think I’m going to like this video being a leaf fan , Hamilton Ontario 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
